Symphony No. 86 in D (Hob. I:86): Full Orchestra, Conductor Score

SYMPHONY NO. 86 IN D MAJOR, (Hob. 1:86) was one of six written by Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) to fulfill a commission by Count Claude d'Ogney. Composed in 1786, it is often considered to be the most opulent of the Paris symphonies, tailored to the large orchestra assembled for the count's "Concert de la loge Olympique" concert series. First performed in its 1787 season, it was praised by a critic in the "Mercure de France" for its ability to extract "from a singular subject the most rich and varied developments." Instrumentation: 1.2.0.2: 2.2.0.0: Timp: Str (4.4.3.3.3 in set). Reprint edition.
